Wright's Employment & Staffing Services, LLC

Startup

Company Info

I have a newly established employment and staffing services business and I supplying services to job seekers at no cost and minimal cost to employers. This will not sustain a sorely needed business in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsulas areas of VA. I need someone who believes in these people and their right to a better way of life. I see them struggle every day to just survive and provide for their families and aging parents. I want to develop employers and training and education and attack the deep down barriers to employment that does not mean 2 hour commutes or choosing between food, medicine or housing.

I need funding to be sustainable. I recently moved business back home to save on overhead. My goal is not to make a lot of money, it is to help people in this area find and get jobs, find training and assist employers in getter better staffing and analysis as to why they have skills gaps and frequent turnover. I want to acquire good office space again in 2019 and I wish to get support to start a training center for food service workers. There is a desperate need in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsular areas for good food service workers and cooks. No one is addressing this need and it could be a boom for not only the employers but also the people seeking full time employment. I have volunteers to teach but need funding for a training space, equipment and all that is required to open such a center.
